Alabama fan and reverend threatens to brutalize reporter over innocuous story
Alabama Crimson Tide football reporter Michael Casagrande, who works for AL.com, shared some outrageous reader feedback he received from a person claiming to be a reverend who wants to have a "vigorous physical conversation with you and your mouth."
The story which drew the ire of the reverend, puzzlingly, was not critical of the Crimson Tide at all and was simply a comparison of where Alabama and LSU rank in various statistical categories ahead of their showdown in two weeks' time. He doubled down on his criticism of the story in a separate email.
Roll Tide?
This vague threat of violence was emailed to me by a reverend. Not kidding. pic.twitter.com/IIti4PQ2qW
